Summary on Grant Application Form
InSITU will develop and test tools to facilitate more inclusive and sustainable infrastructure for transport and the 'public realm' of streets and other public spaces, where leisure & tourism is being nurtured as a catalyst for regional regeneration. The scoping study will be carried out to support practitioners working to address the problems of urban areas that are economically disadvantaged but rich in built heritage. An innovative technique using Geographic Information Systems for Participation (GIS-P) will be piloted, allowing regional and local stakeholders to visualise options and influence design solutions through to implementation. The tool will inform the planning process, so that benefits to local residents, workers and small businesses can be maximised. Thus, it will enable the technical expertise of infrastructure planners and providers to be combined with the knowledge and perspectives of local users, especially 'hard to reach' groups who are often excluded from 'public' consultation on significant changes to their local environment.
